How Do I autoscale DynamoDB with a Cloud Formation Template?

Viewed 2345

When creating a DynamoDB CloudFormation template, you need to specify ProvisionedThroughput:

http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-resource-dynamodb-table.html#cfn-dynamodb-table-provisionedthroughput

But I also see this document that says when you create a table via the console, that Auto Scaling is set up by default.

http://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazondynamodb/latest/developerguide/HowItWorks.ProvisionedThroughput.html#HowItWorks.ProvisionedThroughput.AutoScaling

My question is: Is there something special I need to do with Cloudformation to get my DynamoDB table to autoscale?
